Clinic service

Social Media Management for Private Clinics

GlyphicX runs your clinic's social channels as a monthly service — strategy and planning, clinician-led content, an approval workflow that respects clinical sign-off, community triage with clear escalation, and a monthly read on what the work did. Your clinicians stay clinicians; nothing publishes without their approval.

  • Owner-led private clinics in England
  • Clinics with 2–20 clinicians, employed or self-employed
  • MSK, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and allied health practices
  • Clinics where the owner still treats patients

Already running for a clinic: MindCarePK, a mental health clinic

(01) The Problem

Why clinic social media stalls — and stays stalled.

These are the four patterns we see in clinics that are busy, well run, and still nearly invisible online. None of them are effort problems. They are ownership problems.

One clinician is the whole marketing department

Content waits on the one person qualified to approve a clinical claim — and that person is already double-booked with patients. Approval becomes the bottleneck, so the safest move is to publish nothing.

The calendar is a list of dates, not a service

Posting happens when someone remembers and stops the week the clinic gets busy. There is no plan tying the content to the service lines the clinic actually wants more of.

Clinical and non-clinical questions share one inbox

A question about parking and a question about pain sit in the same thread, with no agreed rule for which is which. Someone ends up answering the second one because it is sitting there.

Nothing is measured past the like count

The monthly report is a screenshot of engagement. Nobody can say whether the work brought an enquiry in, so the budget stays provisional and the next decision is made on feel.

(02) Deliverables

Five pillars, run as one monthly service.

Not a menu. The pillars only work together — a plan without clinical sign-off produces content you cannot publish, and publishing without escalation rules puts your team in conversations they should be handling themselves.

01

Strategy & Planning

A plan built from what your clinic actually offers and what patients ask before they book — not a generic posting calendar.

  • Channel and cadence plan agreed with you, reviewed quarterly
  • Monthly content calendar mapped to your live service lines
  • Seasonal and campaign planning around your capacity
  • Content themes drawn from the non-clinical questions your front desk already answers
02

Clinician-Led Content Production

Content is built from your clinicians' own expertise. We interview, script, and produce — so what a patient reads sounds like a practitioner, not a marketing department.

  • Interview-based scripting with your clinicians, scheduled around clinic lists
  • Shot lists and filming windows sized to fit between appointments
  • Educational carousels, service explainers, and short-form video edits
  • Templates that keep every post inside your existing brand
03

Approval & Compliance Workflows

Two keys, not one. Clinical claims are signed off by a clinician; operational detail is signed off by whoever owns it at your clinic. Nothing is scheduled until both have been recorded.

  • One review queue per month with a single consolidated comment round
  • Named approvers recorded against each approved asset
  • Clinical claim sign-off separated from design sign-off
  • Publishing held until approval is logged — no same-day improvisation
04

Comment & Triage Escalation

We answer only what is safe to answer, and route everything else to a named person at your clinic without delay.

  • Agreed response windows and named escalation contacts per channel
  • Replies limited to non-clinical questions: hours, location, services, how to book
  • Any mention of symptoms, treatment, outcomes, or a complaint escalated to your team — never answered by us
  • Escalation log shared with you monthly: what came in, what was routed, and to whom
05

Monthly Reporting & Attribution

A monthly read on what can actually be traced, with the gaps labelled as gaps. We separate measured, inferred, and unknown — a new-patient phone call is not a social media conversion unless your clinic can show it is.

  • Monthly performance summary: what was published, what performed, what did not
  • Traced enquiry journeys where your clinic already has tracking in place
  • Unknowns stated explicitly rather than estimated
  • Recommended adjustments carried into the next month's plan
(03) Workflow

How the month runs.

The same six steps every month. The sequencing exists so that clinical review happens once, as a block, rather than as a drip of approvals interrupting appointments.

  1. 01

    Plan

    We agree the month's themes against your live service lines and any capacity changes you already know about — new clinics, leave, seasonal peaks.

  2. 02

    Interview

    One scheduled session with your clinician or clinicians captures the clinical substance of the month: how they approach a condition, what patients misunderstand, what they would want a patient to know first.

  3. 03

    Produce

    We write, design, and edit from that interview. Clinical claims come from the clinician's own words; layout, captions, and formats come from us.

  4. 04

    Approve

    Everything lands in one review queue with a single comment round. Your clinical approver signs off the clinical claims, your practice manager signs off the operational detail, and both sign-offs are recorded against the asset.

  5. 05

    Publish & triage

    Approved content is scheduled and published. During agreed hours we answer non-clinical questions and escalate anything clinical to a named person at your clinic.

  6. 06

    Report

    One monthly summary: what was published, what was handled, what was traced, what was inferred, what stays unknown, and what we propose changing next month.

(04) Exclusions

What we do not do.

Written down, on the page, before you ask. A social media service that will not state its limits is asking to be trusted with work it should not be doing.

  • We do not give clinical advice, diagnosis, or treatment guidance — in a comment, a caption, or a brief.
  • We do not guarantee regulatory compliance. Compliance with advertising, professional, and registration requirements stays with your clinic's own clinical and legal governance.
  • We do not handle patient health data. Nothing clinical enters our briefs, drafts, tools, or comment threads.
  • We do not publish without clinical sign-off from your clinic — including corrections, replies, and scheduled content.

These exclusions are the reason we can work on regulated subject matter at all. If a request needs clinical judgement, we say so and route it back to your team rather than answering it ourselves.

Questions clinics ask before starting.

Are your replies to comments clinical advice?

No — and we will never present them as such. We reply to non-clinical questions: opening hours, location, services, how to book, and where to park. Anything mentioning symptoms, treatment, outcomes, or a complaint goes to a named person at your clinic without being answered by us.

Who is accountable for what gets published?

Your clinic is. We produce and prepare; a clinician at your clinic approves the clinical claims, and everything is held until that approval is recorded. That is deliberate: the clinical accountability for what a patient reads should sit with the clinician who can stand behind it.

What happens if a post needs correcting after it is live?

We stop, take it down if your clinic says to, and do not repost until your clinical lead has signed off the corrected version. Corrections follow the same approval workflow as the original — they do not get a shortcut because they are urgent.

Do you need access to patient records or clinical systems?

No, and we will not accept it. Nothing clinical belongs in our briefs, drafts, tools, or comment threads. Content is built from interviews with your clinicians and from the non-clinical questions your front desk already answers.

How do you handle photos of patients or before-and-after imagery?

We do not source patient imagery ourselves. If your clinic wants to use it, the consent has to exist on your side, cover the specific use, and be documented — and the caption's claim still has to be signed off by your clinician. Where that is not in place, we use licensed or clinic-owned imagery instead.

What does it cost, and how long is the commitment?

Pricing is a flat monthly retainer, scoped to your channels and content volume and reviewed quarterly. The specific terms are set out in the proposal we send you — we do not publish a rate card, because the scope varies too much for one number to be honest.

Our full editorial and governance rules are published at Editorial & Governance Standards.
